This new version with new features & difficults is better than old ones, also... this "Final" version fix any bugg in the map, yes, included the one of P6. I recommend play this scenario in easy for first time... maybe it looks very easy but if you play in other difficults you will see that it is not.


Here you can see all the updates that the map had till v7.6:

1° Stone and Wood Shop: This new shop is not activated since the start, Host (player 1) have to activate it by moving the sheep on the flag infront of it, if you're asking to yourself "Why not like the other shops?" the answer is because some players (the pro ones) does not want it or sometimes if you choose easy difficult maybe you're not going to need that shop and well, if Host does not activate it in the first 15 minutes the shop will be closed forever.


2° Booter: I've added a booter for those laggers or maybe jerks that you can find in the world and sometimes they ruin the game.

How the booter works?
For boot someone you have to kill the sheep, each sheep have a flag infront of it that mean what player is. I've added too a function that allow the players that are not the host (P2, P3, P4 & P5) boot P1 if they want, this is disabled if the host (P1) and other player (P2, P3, P4 or P5) are the only ones that still alive, that mean that the function is disabled if only P1 + Other Player Non Computer are the only ones in the map, playing (total of 2 human players).

If Player 1 is defeated, the ownership of the booter pass to P2, if P2 is defeated the ownership of booter pass to P3, etc... If P2 was defeated before P1(or any other player) and then P1 die, the booter ownership pass to the sequence number of player that still alive.


3° Noob Shop: I've added the "Noob Shop" for those players that can't survive more than level 5 or something like that... but you can use it too if you want to make it a fast game or maybe you choose wrong difficult and you need help!

The Noob Shop is not activated since the game starts, you can use it when 10 minutes have been passed once game start and then you will have it only for 5 minutes open.

If you want something from there (but make sure that all players agree) you have to tell it to the Host because he's the only one that can activate the bonuses from there, when he moves the sheep to the flag infront of it automaticaly all players receive that bonus and trust me... those bonus make the game easy and fast that's why I put the name of "Noob Shop".

And if you're asking to yourself "But what can I get from there?" the answer is this:

a) +2 Villies for Build Area
b) +2 Villies for Resource Area
c) +5000 Gold
d) +2 Free Relics
e) +2 Tower of Flies with +150AP
f) +5000 Stone


4° Counter Area: In that area you can't do anything, I add it for improve the amount of Trades and Relics that you can buy at the Normal Shop, it is a counter area as the name says.


5° Auto-Boot Area: In v1.5 the auto-boot detectors was in the middle of the map behind the houses of each player but sometimes they crash the game or just stay there so I improve that function by changing the area site.


6° Spawn Area: Maybe you can't see it in this little map but if you look at the entire Screenshot of the map (1:3) that is below the information about triggers, conditions and effects, you're going to see that now the ways are closed because in v1.5 some units from other players ran out of the line and enter into other player line, also now that area have a specific area for Spawn the offensive units of each player (P2, P3, P4, P5, P6 & P7), that prevents the crash when more than 1 player was sending you a unit at the same time and then the game crash.


7° Build Area: I just added Hay Stacks in the shore of each side from build area for prevent units of P8 entering in the grass.


8° Monks Area: I improve the Monks area for capture the correct amount of relics. In past versions you was able to buy 20 relics from shop plus 2 relics that you get at the start of the game, 2 more from easy difficult and 2 more from "Noob Shop", the total amount was 26... and you only had 2 monasteries! You was wasting 6 relics, I fix that for exploit the relics 100%, I added other monastery for capture all of them, but I improve the total amount for not make the game very easy (24 Maximum)


9° Offensive Shop & Normal Shop: I just change the look of the area, that's all.


Well, those are the updates that you can see in the map screenshot but... there are more things that I added but you can't see them in the map, like:


10° Now each civilization gets the correct amount of Food, Wood and Gold for research the technologies available in the map.


11° The starting amount of Wood let you research all technologies available in the map and build 10 towers.


12° The starting amount of Stone depends on the difficult that you choose, that improves the difficult of the scenario and make it harder or easier.


13° The starting amount of Gold is exact for research the technologies available and make the maximum amount of Trade Carts at Market, that improves the difficult of the scenario and make it harder.


14° The starting amount of Food is exact for research the technologies available in the map, that improves difficult because in past versions you received more and if you was intelligent you could sell it for gold.


15° Now the bonus of resources for every kill is improved for all difficults.


16° The amount of Stone Bonus from the "Resources Area" is improved for all difficults.


17° Added a Gold Bonus in the "Resources Area" that is improved for all difficults too.


18° The original version 1.5 only had 4 resource villagers and 2 builders but there was a version with 6 resource villagers and 3 builders, well, in this version you have the same amount of villies like the original scenario, I mean, 4 resource villagers and 2 builders because the game was very easy with more villies (Anyway... if you want more you can get them from the Noob Shop)


19° As the shop says and like it must be, now you can only buy 27 trade carts and 20 relics, the maximum population is 54 if you count the 4 villies from Noob Shop but 50 withouth them like the original scenario, v1.5.


20° Now when you buy a relic you do not get other monk... you have one and if that monk die you only have 1 more respawn.


21° The difficults have an entire change, look:

Easy Difficult Settings:

1° +2 Free Relics
2° Bonuses (Stone, Gold and Kills 100%)
3° +2000 Gold at Start
4° Normal Population
5° +6000 Stone at Start


Normal Difficult Settings:

1° +1 Free Relic
2° Bonuses (Stone, Gold and Kills 50%)
3° +1000 Gold at Start
4° -4 Population
5° +3000 Stone at Start


Hard Difficult Settings:

1° No Free Relics
2° Bonuses (Stone, Gold and Kills 25%)
3° +500 Gold at Start
4° -8 Population
5° +1500 Stone at Start

Notes:
- The Bonus of Stone is 5000 (100%)
- The Bonus of Gold is 5000 (100%)
- The Bonus per Kill is 8 Stone, 4 Wood & 2 Gold (100%)


22° Improve in the info. about the map, look at Hints if you're new, maybe that can help you a lot.


23° Fixed "Lost Unit", I mean, in version 1.5 if 2, 3, 4, 5, etc... units of Player 8 (The Spawn) enter at the same time in the area where you can lose HP for your king, it was only counted as 1 and you only lose -500HP, well now if 2 or more units enter at the same time in that area you're going to lose the correct amount of HP!


24° Improve in Normal Shop, now when you want to research imperial age withouth first have castle age you receive a message telling you, also if you buy the maximum amount of Trade Carts, Relics or if you already researched Castle Age/Imperial Age.


25° Improve in Offensive Shop, now you can't keep 2 units in the "Sent Area", you have to sent the one that you purchased before buy another one, if not you will lose both units (and obviously the gold that you spent for buy them), in that case you're going to receive 1500 Gold for your lost.


26° Improve in starting Population... now all players start with 11 Pop, in version 1.5 some players had more Pop because of Hiden Units in the map (specialy the Host).


27° Improve in the amount of towers that you can build, now all players can build 138 Towers Maximum! Everyone is happy now


28° Now when you buy a Trade Cart they do not go to other market than the one that is infront of yours, that fixes the traffic of trade carts.


29° Now villies can't block the road of the Spawn Units, if you try you can lost your villies so please... Don't be a noob.


30° Now you can't kill the villies at resource area with a tower and there's a punishment if you try to.


31° If you took the relic but you forgot move the monk with it now your monk moves automatically (but not for capture, just for not make you lose 950 Gold).


32° P6 Bugg is totaly FIXED, he can play withouth any problem.


33° Units HP Changed, now it's harder to beat the TD.


34° New bonuses added, if a player is defeated you get a little amount of Gold, Stone and Wood for it, enjoy it.


Well, I think these are all the improvements, adds, removes or fixes that I've made but maybe I'm missing something! I almost re-made the entire triggers of the scenario because they was wrong and sometimes they make the game crash... you can see my history version of the updates below.

Also, maybe you think that the map is now very hard or very easy, trust me... it is not, if you play in easy difficult it will be easy, in normal it will be normal (medium) and if you play in Hard it will be Hard, and if you're pro... try to beat it in Hard.

Black Sprit?

Thats Me Basse ^^ Nice to see you here

wow nice work. I always thought star TD needed fixing (especailly with some players having uneven degrees to kill the units) and considered fixing it up awhile ago, but never got around to it.
are u trying to get this rated? cuz at least the old bugged version was rated for at least some time.

http://www.voobly.com/forum/thread/39947/1#pagebrowser1 Last 5 posts. I'm fairly certain that's correct.

i see well...black spirit u could do some precise tests for the diagonals and see if there is any way to get the diagonal to kill the exact same # of units as the strait paths.

or get rid of the diagonal bases and cut down on the number of people that can play. I like this td though. You should do what I said in the other thread.

Well Soujiro, I will not do that, Star TD will be always Star TD, at least the one that I made yes, if someone edit the scenario for make it rated it's fine, but I will not.

And Is_this_my_name seriously I have tested the map lot of times, as I can see and most of players too is that the towers shoot properly, all arrows touch at least one unit (unless the unit move .1 secs after tower already shoot, but that's normal... in all TD maps if the unit move after a little time [ms] that tower have already shooted the arrows does not touch it) so I can't find out the problem, even P6 now shoot properly and I added a Fixer for the "Arrows" if the Diplomacy is a problem because of the houses.

Also, maybe what I can do is remove the houses and give to the players the amount of population with triggers, so then P6 will not have any problem and fixer will be removed, but I have to know if I do that it get rated or not.

If p6 bug is fixed, what does it matter?

I have the same question since he told me that... I've seen a P6 beat other 6 players in a game that I host, I can't understand what's the problem now !

Anyway, I know what can not be fair in the scenario and I can fix it withouth any problem, then everything will be fair for ALL THE PLAYERS

This is the same thing as not having bases even. *shakes fist* jk. I could care less whether or not this is rated but if people want to play it rated like that then I say let them play.

I don't know why this TD can't be added if after the next update that I'm gonna make in a few minutes everything get FAIR and FIXED, also when in the Voobly Pack are many maps that are not played by other people...

Updated to Final version 7.6

Thanks for fixing it up Black, I never got around to it. Looks good
